Any technological device used to aid in supplying data of the air’s condition or direct feedback of the model’s flight status is prohibited during the flight. These devices include any transmission or receiving devices not used to directly control the model aircraft (telephones, walkie-talkies, telemetry of airspeed and altitude etc), temperature detecting devices (thermal imaging cameras, thermometers etc), optical aids (such as binoculars, telescopes etc), and distance/altitude measuring devices (GPS, laser range finders etc). Telemetry of signal strength at the aircraft receiver and state of the receiver battery is permitted. Use of corrective eyeglasses and sunglasses are permitted. I f an infringement of this rule occurs, the pilot will be disqualified from the contest.

5.8.6

2012:h) the model (i.e. the centre of gravity) fails to pass above a horizontal plane, level with the starting area, within five seconds off exiting the course.

2014:h) any part of the model aircraft fails to pass above a horizontal plane, level with the starting area, within five seconds of exiting the course.

5.8.9

2012:Base A is the official starting plane. At Base A and Base B, an Official announces the passing of the model (i.e. the fuselage nose of the model) with a sound signal when the model is flying out of the speed course. Furthermore, in the case of Base A, a signal announces the first time the model is crossing Base A in the direction of Base B.

2014:Base A is the official starting plane. At Base A and Base B, an Official announces the passing of the model (ie any part of the model aircraft) with a sound signal when the model is flying out of the speed course. Furthermore, in the case of Base A, a signal announces the first time the model is crossing Base A in the direction of Base B.
